Ray Bradbury Quotes
Was She Conscious Of Her Talent? Hardly. If Asked About Her Cooking, Grandma Would Look Down At Her Hands Which Some Glorious Instinct Sent On Journeys To Be Gloved In Flour, Or To Plumb Disencumbered Turkeys, Wrist-deep In Search Of Their Animal Souls. Her Gray Eyes Blinked From Spectacles Warped By Forty Years Of Oven Blasts And Blinded With Strewing Of Pepper And Sage, So She Sometimes Flung Cornstarch Over Steaks, Amazingly Tender, Succulent Steaks! And Sometimes Dropped Apricots Into Meat Loaves, Cross-pollinated Meats, Herbs, Fruits, Vegetables With No Prejudice, No Tolerance For Recipe Or Formula, Save That At The Final Moment Of Delivery, Mouths Watered, Blood Thundered In Response. Her Hands Then, Like The Hands Of Great-grandma Before Her, Were Grandma's Mystery, Delight, And Life. She Looked At Them In Astonishment, But Let Them Live Their Life In The Way They Must Absolutely Lead It.
